i rarely think of him any morethat man who made me laugh and dreami hardly recall the way he held menor how the fire dissolved to steam

i always was who i am without pretensei never quite understood why he jumped the fence"you're too beautiful for me" is what he saidstrange words that spun around in my head

i rarely think of him any moremight not recognize himon the streetthough he shows up invisiblein my cold feet

i don't miss him noweven when he comes to mindthough the scar he left across my heartis easy enough to find

the teaspoonful of ashesthat reminds me of when the burning begani could blow into the wind nowwith the breath across my hand"you're too beautiful for me"is what he saidstrange words to leave spinningin my head

Beauty in the scars, beauty in the dreamsbeauty in the way fire dissolves to steambeauty in the ashes taking flight on the windbeauty in the tears washing me clean again
